Description
The Massengill Photographs: A New Perspective on Depression-Era Arkansas. In 1930s rural Arkansas, the Massengill family built mobile photography studios and started a successful photo booth business. This unique venture allowed them to capture images of everyday people in their daily lives, often with a playful edge. The resulting photographs showcase a side of life during this period that has previously gone unseen by the public. These photographs, featured in Making Pictures, offer a fresh perspective on a Depression-era America. Unlike other photographs from the era, which often depicted hardworking individuals in more somber circumstances, the Massengill images reveal people striving to look their best. With hand-painted backdrops and colorized prints, these scenes are both poignant and visually striking. The book presents a collection of Massengill family prints and photo albums, carefully curated by artist Maxine Payne.
